<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Crossroads: A Glimpse into the Life of Alice Pasquini</b> is the <br>artist's first anthology, one of the top female international street <br>artists. In over 300 pages, 200 images and a number of original extracts<br> from her sketchbook, Crossroads tells the story and showcases the <br>artwork of Alice Pasquini. Pasquini is a prolific illustrator, creative <br>designer and painter who has been gifting cities with her artwork for <br>over a decade: through her work, women and children become an integral <br>feature of any urban surrounding. From large artwork - like the wall of <br>the Italian Museum in Melbourne - to small cameos in London or <br>Marseille, Alice's creativity shines through in every city thanks to her<br> unique style. The images in Crossroads have been taken from <br>photographers the likes of Martha Cooper and Ian Cox. The book is <br>brought together by a foreword from the editor Paulo von Vacano, texts <br>by Jessica Stewart and journalists Nicolas Ballario (Rolling Stones) and<br> Stephen Heyman (New York Times), as well as article extracts by Steven <br>P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo - Co-founders of Brooklyn Street Art [BSA], <br> Serena Dandini, DJ Gruff and Chef Rubio.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alice Pasquini's artwork is seen not only on urban surfaces and walls, <br>but also in galleries and museums in more than one hundred different <br>cities around the world. Alice travels continuously and her preferred <br>canvases are city walls. The Roman artist, both a street artist and <br>painter, has developed different threads in her research, from narrating<br> feminine vitality to manipulating the three-dimensional possibilities <br>of her work. She moves from urban explorations to installations using <br>found materials. Sydney, New York, Barcelona, Oslo, Moscow, Paris, <br>Copenhagen, Marrakech, Berlin, Saigon, Buenos Aires, Singapore, London, <br>and Rome are some of the cities where her work can be found. Alice <br>graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and has lived and <br>worked in Great Britain, France, and Spain. While in Madrid she <br>completed coursework in animation at the Ars animación school and, in <br>2004, obtained an MA in critical art studies at the Universidad <br>Computense. In 2018, she was commissioned to design the libretti for the<br> 2019/2020 season at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna. In 2015 she <br>collaborated with the Tourism and Culture Assessor and the Legality and <br>Coastline Assessor of Rome for the 3D project Under Layers in Ostia. In <br>2013 she realized a cycle of works for the Capitoline Museums in Rome, <br>which are visible in Piazza Campidoglio, as well as a panel for the <br>Pinacoteca Comunale d'Arte Contemporanea in Gaeta, Italy. Her work has <br>been exhibited in the Museo Italiano, Melbourne (2017), Saatchi Gallery, <br> London (2016); MACRO Contemporary Art Museum in Rome (2014); <br>Tri-Mission Art Gallery, American Embassy, Rome (2013); Galleria d'Arte <br>Provinciale Santa Chiara e alla Galleria Nazionale, Cosenza (2013); Casa<br> dell'Architettura, Rome (2013); Palazzo Candiotti, Foligno (2012); <br>Espace Pierre Cardin, Paris (2012); Mutuo Centro de Arte, Barcelona <br>(2012). In addition, Alice has completed projects with international <br>clients, such as Canada Goose, Canon, Nike, Range Rover, Toyota, and <br>Microsoft, illustrated the graphic novel Vertigine (Rizzoli, 2011). <br>Alice and her work have been featured in New York Times International, <br>The Wall Street Journal, l'Espresso, Panorama, Vanity, and many other <br>international publications. In 2016 she was added to the Treccani <br>Italian Encyclopedia. She taught a cycle of workshops at the Hangar <br>Bicocca in Milan in 2016 and collaborated with FIPAV and ATAC to repaint<br> Rome's Stazione Due Ponti. She has also collaborated with the Italian <br>Cultural Institute of Singapore (2013), Uruguay (2015), and São Paulo <br>(2019). In 2016 she was tasked with painting the facade of the Museo <br>Italiano in Melbourne, where she also held a solo exhibition. <p/>Paulo<br> Von Vacano is Publisher of Drago Media. Paulo has followed the urban <br>and contemporary art scenes for decades, first as a journalist for <br>international magazines and newspapers, and later as the president and <br>shareholder of the Castelvecchi Publishing Company, where he produced <br>more than 500 fiction and non fiction books and several magazines (among<br> which include "Aspenia" of The Aspen Institute and Toni Negri's <br>"Posse"). He leads DRAGO, bringing the kick-and-lick of a new generation<br> of artists to the foreground of the collective consciousness. He lives <br>in Rome, Italy <p/>
